Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

PROS: The movie was intense at times.CONS: The teen scream acting along with a terrible plot and you get this movie. I get that sometime a teen scream feel is helpful, like with the movie TELL ME HOW I DIE, but this movie didn't need it. Time and time again I expected for the characters to be something memorable, they weren't. The worst thing was how cliché the movie was though. There was nothing new, nothing creative. It felt like I was watching every bad movie I saw being put into one. There were so many things that just didn't add up and then you were left confused on why this was even a horror movie to begin with, because there was nothing truly terrifying in it nor was there anything keeping you invested. At any point in the movie I could've walked away and not regretted a thing because by the time the first 15 minutes pass I already knew I was in for a s*** show.www.chorror.com

In the dictionary, there's a word called ugly; the context includes various things such as being unpleasant, repulsive, suggestive, causing disquiet, and furthermore being totally unattractive. There's also another word called misguided, disappointing, disjointed, downgraded, boring and moronic.These words perfectly describes this film as something that had potential to be engaging, unjustly entertaining, and possibly raw. But unfortunately it was presented with flawed material that merely descended into repetitive nonsense. Within the abyss of this disaster, there's elements that would've improved the storytelling significantly if it followed a less linear and unenthusiastic approach.The major problem in this film isn't just the writing but the rating. It's a soulless PG-13 experience that either doesn't push boundaries when it teases it or fulfills the experience for the viewers when it loosely attempts. It's a boring drama with no emotions. A psychological thriller with no excitement or scares. A predictable and irresponsible romance with no believable, thoughtful, or even slightly less dreadful compassion. It couldn't be erotic or sensual without deliberately detracting itself.If this film was a human, it would be a roommate with no standards.

So terrible that I wanted to turn it off. Worst acting I ever saw. Felt sad for a few of the good actors, but not the 2 female leads. Both were just horrendous. The evil one was so bad I was hoping she'd be done in early on. The other one so stupid not to read between the lines. When they are working with Frances Fisher, you can see how bad they are in not even coming close to good acting.Billy Zane wasted in this trash. Why do they produce these terrible films? Surely there are better writers, actors and directors. LMN must be desperate sometimes for the work they present. Why do these good actors in some cases do these films? Do they need money that bad?If it weren't for Frances Fisher, Billy Zane and the boy friend, what's his name, I'd turn this crap off. Hope to God I never have to see these two lip gloss bad leading ladies again. Get a life, girls.Oh yes, nice touch killing the kitten in such a terrible way. Sick writer that you are. Whenever you have bad scripts and bad actors, kill an animal and make it worse. Right?

The Roommate, I had started watching this a year ago but turned it off soon after seeing the cat die, and I wish I didn't try to watch it again. This is a truly painful film to view. It has a decent cast lead by the talented (Leighton Meester) but has very flat characters and uses them once and never again such as Alyson Michalka's character, Tracy who we see for the first 40-50 minutes, which is truly upsetting being that we really don't know what happens to her. And this film could have been more scary, way more scary than it is, and it shoulda had more deaths leading up to the final, which was very disappointing. The acting was O.K. but nothing over the average, and the special effects, cheesy as heck. The film doesn't really use the source material and the main idea to it's best use. It all goes to waste. Nothing to really recommend here. D-
